Identification of Misconceptions in the Teaching of Biology: A Pedagogical Cycle of Recognition, Reduction and Removalhttp://www.cscanada.net/index.php/hess/article/view/6519
<p>To date research into how young people acquire accurate higher-order scientific knowledge, and gain an understanding of abstract and challenging concepts in science, has occupied much of the science education literature across countries and across continents. In previous studies, we identified that biology teaching that involves the diagnosis, reduction and elimination of misconceptions can be one effective pedagogic approach, particularly if positioned within a ‘good enough’ model of pedagogic practice . In this study, we investigate the use of one diagnostic testing approach to the identification of misconceptions in the teaching of respiration and photosynthesis in a small sample of secondary school students (n=139) and pre-service teachers (n=43) in the Republic of Ireland. Photosynthesis and respiration were chosen as they are prevalent biology topics that students find conceptually challenging. The study used test items to elicit the extent of misconceptions among this cohort – a paper-and-pencil test for students and a survey instrument for pre-service teachers. The findings show unacceptably high level of misconceptions among all pre-service teachers and students and suggest that diagnostic tests of this type can be a useful entry point to a pedagogical cycle for the recognition, reduction and removal of misconceptions. The findings have wider implications than this small scale study and are primarily directed toward new understandings in relation to more effective models of biology teaching and teacher education.</p>E.

<p>The Music Curriculum Standards for High School, which is issued by the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China, has divided the high school music course into six modules, among which a module of Music Appreciation is included. According to the requirements of the Curriculum Standards and the analysis of the specific content of Music Appreciation, the modern instructional technology is of great significance for the instruction of this module. Taking two typical chapters in Music Appreciation (a textbook published by the People’s Music Publishing House in 2013) as an example, this article makes an exposition of the way of instructional design with comprehensive application of modern instructional technology under the guidance of constructivism theory. </p>Li YANG2015-02-262015-02-268Study on the Modernization of Government Administration System From Restricting Conditions, Power Distribution and Dynamic Mechanismhttp://www.cscanada.net/index.php/hess/article/view/6469
<p><span>The modernization of government administration system is the important foundation and approaches to that of the state. From the dimension of administration, the modernization of government administration system is embodied in three aspects: sticking to its restricting conditions, improving its mechanism of power distribution and unearthing its dynamic sources. Recognize and adhere to the market’s decisive function, respect social autonomous rights, so we can form a benign interaction of the government, market and society. Improve the legal power centralization of central government and the administration rights decentralization of the local government, so we can make the rational allocation of rights between central government and local government. Adhere to the combination of the dynamic of top-down and bottom-up, so we can deep mine the dynamic source of the government administration system.</span></p>Chao WANG2015-02-282015-02-288Exploration of Establishment Plans Based on Laboratories for Economic Management Related Subjects in Colleges and Universitieshttp://www.cscanada.net/index.php/hess/article/view/6526
The laboratories in institutions of higher learning are “source for knowledge innovation and base of personnel cultivation”, and the laboratories are also the base of quality-oriented education and significant places for experimental teaching. It is essential to make further improvements in experimental condition for basic teaching in institutions of higher learning along with modernization construction and market economic development in China as well as increasing demands for reform in the establishment of a laboratory for economic management majors. Based on a comprehensive summary and analysis of past laboratory teaching experience and lessons, the experimental teaching concept is proposed to “base on basic ability training with comprehensive quality cultivation as the core and innovation spirit as the principal line. In particular, there is a further increasing demand by society for versatile talented personnel good at economy and management in 21st century. Besides, the Ministry of Education has brought up new demands of “broader specialized direction, profound knowledge basis, and emphasis on practice” for higher education on economy and management subjects, demanding combination of classroom teaching with experiment teaching in teaching practice of subjects of economic management in order to promote accessible mutual penetration and integration by means of experimental environment. This is an important way to carry out the educational innovation system projects and also the requirements by development of the subject of economic management. In this thesis, there is research and analysis of current problems existing in the establishment and management of laboratory for economic management-related subjects. Besides, there are also, in consideration of requirements for laboratory establishment determined by the features of the subject of economic management, discussions over necessity to establish experiment center for subjects related to economic management in colleges and universities and suggestions on specific solutions to establishment and management of laboratories for subjects related to economic management.Zheng ZHANGYu WANG2015-02-262015-02-268To Strengthen Campus Cultural Construction in Institutions of Science and Engineering to Promote Ideological and Political Education of College Studentshttp://www.cscanada.net/index.php/hess/article/view/6256

Ideological and political work is human-oriented work and it is an interactive process of educators and educatees. During the anti-Japanese war, no matter of anti-Japanese bases or the rear areas, the Chinese Communist Party not only emphasized the enhancement of educators’ quality, but also enhanced the quality of educatees through appropriate approaches to ensure the efficiency of ideological and political work. The practice of CCP’s ideological and political work during the anti-Japanese war tells us that, we must pay same attention to the cultivation and enhancement of the quality of educators and educatees in ideological and political work and either can be neglected.Wanqin HU2015-02-262015-02-268Study on Higher Education Fund Guarantee System of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in Yan’an Periodhttp://www.cscanada.net/index.php/hess/article/view/6499

As a novelty, internet English has similarity and peculiarity with common English, no matter in word-formation or feature. This is determined by the special communicational media—internet. It is clear that web—English neologisms play a very important role over the period from the birth of Internet up to now. The appearance of new internet English words is an inevitable phenomenon of social development and linguistic evolution. The feature and form of its word-formation have a distinct flavor of modern times. As the tool for delivering internet information, internet English covers various kinds of matters in our life. Therefore, it is greatly necessary for us to analyze the translation methods of network English, so as to be helpful for Internet users. This thesis analyzes several means of translating the Internet English into Chinese.Hong LIU2015-02-262015-02-268Teaching Direction of Higher Vocational Major of Petroleum Engineeringhttp://www.cscanada.net/index.php/hess/article/view/6508
